So, with Xhaka and Partey suspended, plus two more players having left on loan this week, when do we think the scum will submit their request for Burnley postponement??

Probably banking on Burnley asking for them. They've currently played 5 games less than chelsea now, though, so there's a point where the PL has to stop the postponements.

Burnley's new owners are apparently a bunch of skint frauds anyway, so may as well just let them drop

Quite a notable list of casualties now for the original AFTV, if you think about it.

Lee Judges
Ty
Claude Suicide?
Troopz Left
DT Prison
Heavy D Died

Whilst Troopz is still occasionally there, and I don't think Heavy D died for AFTV related reasons, there's definitely a sense of neglect for Claude and DT that had warning signs for a significant period.
The problem with the internet is that people don't really take it seriously that it bleeds into real life - especially for people who are sensitive.

AFTV was always the YouTube equivilant of the first rounds of X factor, where “weirdos“ are exploited like a PT Barnum freak show. It’s success is based on the extreme often unreasonable reactions from these characters. Robbie clearly knew this and pushed them more and more to the front.

Like you say, it bleeds into real life. Their casualty list as you put it is partly because of the way Robbie has exploited them all. You have to wonder if Goodenough would have treated his ex in that way if he hadn’t had his ego pumped up by being an Internet star famous for his anger and outbursts.

Robbie has long been making money out of putting dysfunctional people in front of a microphone, which can’t exactly help their well-being - feel sad for Claude as I think he was a decent guy.
The post match head explosions are wearing a bit thin these days, as it’s getting to the point of when you have seen one you have seen them all.

Supply and demand, I guess. It's a real life example of the Derren Brown experiment where he showed that an audience thrives on the torture and reaction of the subjects.

Yeah, I agree it shouldn't be treated in a humorous way as it's rather sad seeing someone throw a PS out the window or throw a controller at a wall.

This is the problem of AFTV. They showed these 'caricatures' flaws, treated it as entertainment so they could profit from it and cast them aside when they do something wrong.

If it was really a voice for the fans, as Robbie proclaims, they'd interview different people all the time and not rely on the same faces.

Ultimately, DT is responsible for his own actions. But no one can say they didn't see something like this happening. The bloke gas clearly got a switch that without too much provocation, would flip. He's proven that befire, and he's even said he knows what he's like. Instead of apologising he should have got some help to control it, or keep himself out of an environment in which he'd explode. But he can't cause he loves the clout.

His apology is empty until he proves he is rehabilitated and is getting the treatment he needs.

Spot on.

And I still feel aggrieved at how Robbie used and dropped Claude.

They should have supported Claude more as he clearly needed it.

Robbie carries on like he’s whiter than white, but as people have said no matter what he says, he exploits people for personal gain. It’s the Big Brother generation and the public love to watch a meltdown to feel better about themselves.

Greatest academy in the world now has 3 players in senior squad. We have 6 but you never hear it mentioned.

Just had a look on the AFTV channel for the first time in ages - they used to put out videos with a few million views each for some of the DT/Troopz rants back in the day, nowadays it looks like they struggle to get any with six figures even after an embarrassing semi-final defeat at home. I think Robbie knew that all along though - nobody wants to watch a level headed fan calmly discussing the game, but an unstable manchild losing his shit would go viral and generate clicks.

I used to find it hilarious watching the meltdowns but they've become repetitive after a while - it's not like the old days where Arsenal used to only lose a couple of games per season. I'd started to assume that Troopz was all just an act, surely no grown adult could actually behave like that on camera just because his football team keeps losing every week, but then seeing the news about DT this week made me think maybe they have genuinely found some of the most unhinged people around and poured gasoline on the fire every week.

He's a scumbag who physically dominated a defenceless woman, its hilarious.

didnt he have a family member (brother/inlaw) who is/was a prison officer, thats going to go down well inside.

Just been having a look at AFTV for the first time in ages.
James (the bookworm looking lad) is clearly intelligent and articulate which probably means he will get fired soon!. Lee speaks some sense too and keeps it real, but it’s still a train crash of a channel.
I think AFTV have have just hit 1 billion views over its lifetime. Rough rule of thumb is that you get approximately $4 for every 1,000 views although a lot depends on the time of year you release the video - last quarter of the year up to Christmas is apparently the most lucrative.
Quick fag packet maths is that translates into around $4M dollars or £3M. That is some serious money.

To be fair (and yes I've been sad enough to zoom in & have a good look).

I've seen more happy faces at funerals.

Problem is, if you read through the thread there’s a legitimate explanation.
It’s a copywrited image and that particular area had “Getty Images” on it, so he cropped and patched it.

 

[ShelfWatcher]

Burnley have enough players so game will go ahead
Whether they have enough to avoid defeat is a different matter. Both teams will be significantly weakened. Can only see an Arsenal win

Probably not the smartest thing to admit on a public forum like Twitter about a company who are pretty ruthless with their litigation.

Poor to use mental health as a justification. I suffer emotional breakdowns and don't stalk or beat anyone?

purely a smokescreen, he used the mental health card before when he said he's taking a break due to those reasons, but was in fact inside, his a classic narcissist case, real horrible angry bully of a man, whose a stain to the sport we all love.
